Going Hybrid: building on what lockdown taught us about work
Let’s not get carried away. If you’re reading this, it’s likely you were working flexibly for a long time before lockdown. It’s just that we’ve now experienced a more extreme version of it.
So the real question is: what does flexible mean now? After all, being stuck at home is hardly flexible. It was called lockdown for a reason.
As everyone begins to look to the future, we’ve come up with a list of points to consider as you work out how things might change more permanently for you.
Because there’s no doubt that something has clicked round in the psyche of many of the UK’s business leaders. Some substantial change is on the way.
For a start, the stats tell an interesting story:
About 70% of people say they got as much or more work done when working from home
Of those, 29% said they were more productive
More than one in 10 business leaders in London say they will move to permanent home-working.
In the end, the basics of common sense management have to apply. If your organisation can function more efficiently, productively and profitably with people working even more flexibly than they were, then it’s an obvious logical step to make a permanent change.
